Elijah Moore suffered injury in Week 17’s Jets vs Browns
Moore made his presence felt on the field before exiting the Jets game in the second quarter, as he posted 61 receiving yards and a touchdown on five catches and six targets. The Browns expected Moore to have an expanded role versus the Jets with Amari Cooper ruled out just before the contest.
Fortunately for the Browns, they still managed to come away with a 37-20 win despite losing Moore the rest of the way. They will now be hoping that Moore will be able to make a full recovery and clear the concussion protocol in time for the playoffs. But before that, the Browns will take on the Cincinnati Bengals in their regular-season finale on the road this coming Sunday.
Moore is third among Browns players so far in the 2023 NFL season with 640 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 59 catches and 104 targets. He arrived in Cleveland last March after the Jets traded him to the Browns along with a 2023 third-round pick for a second-rounder in the 2023 NFL Draft.
